What Going Concern does

Going Concern BV is a Dutch full-service reintegration bureau (re-integratiebureau) headquartered in Katwijk aan Zee, Netherlands. Founded in 2012 and operating as a private limited company (KvK 69250987), the firm specializes in helping employees return to work after illness, injury, or unemployment and assists Dutch employers in meeting statutory reintegration obligations under the Wet verbetering poortwachter framework. Its service portfolio spans employer-facing offerings (Tweede spoor, Derde spoor, Arbeidsdeskundig Onderzoek, Outplacement), employee-facing career and coaching services (Outplacement, Coachingstrajecten, Loopbaanbegeleiding, Loopbaantraject, Loopbaanscan, Ontdek je Talent), and approved UWV-funded trajectories (Werkfit, Naar Werk, Modulaire Re-integratie, Werkbehoud), supplemented by a Werkervaringsplek work-experience placement program.

The firm operates as a human-delivered consulting service rather than a technology platform; no proprietary AI systems, APIs, or apps are disclosed, and the value proposition rests on dedicated one-on-one coaching, fixed reintegration coaches per client, and a self-reported 80% average success rate. Going Concern holds the Blik op Werk Keurmerk with EIK Certificering and is part of the Arbo Concern group under a strategic partnership that bundles occupational health, vitality, and reintegration services from a single point of contact. The customer base spans approximately 19 named enterprise clients across hospitality, retail, food service, entertainment, manufacturing, logistics, IT, healthcare, education, and consulting (Van der Valk, McDonald's, Netflix, Yamaha, Damen Shiprepair, DSV, Nippon Express, Topdesk, Zorg en Zekerheid, LOI, Seneos, SOB, Hartstichting, Raamwerk, Bakker van Maanen and others), with UWV as a separate approved-provider channel.

Revenue is generated through quote-based professional services contracts with employers, individually contracted employee services, and approved-provider fees for UWV-funded reintegration trajectories, with an optional subscription/annual contract variant for some engagements. Go-to-market relies on Dutch-language content marketing (a blog covering reintegration, employer obligations, and UWV procedures), an email newsletter, and a 'vrijblijvend advies' (free consultation) call-to-action driving inbound leads. The company employs 1-10 people, implying a high-revenue-per-employee model that likely depends on a contracted field-coach network rather than purely internal delivery capacity.
